The predisposing causes of cancer are
in the habits Of the patients themselves.
Just as civilization is the cause of the
strain that wrecks SO many intellects, SO
it is also the cause of depressing the
animal vitality of the individual and
brings in its train this dread disease.
The main cause Of this disease is ''estab-
hshed wealth and a state of luxury"
The appetite for eating meat and highly
seasoned food is indulged, and can be
regulated and habitually indulged, only
In state of established civilization, with
communities engaged in accumulating
fortunes and vieing with each other in
sumptuous living. These conditions, to-
gether with habits of Incidence and in
sufficient exercise, cause an accumula-
ton of the waste products in the system
which predisposes to cancer. Then, an
accidental bruise, or reversal of fortune
with mental depression, or any other
exciting cause, may develop this terrible
disease.
Tho lesson is obvious. People should
live more frugally and take plenty of
exercise in the open air, and, in short,
follow hygienic modes Of living. and the
danger of cancer is much more remote.
The cure may be difficult, but prevention
seems to be in the power of the indi-
vidual. Medical Summary.

The stan Of LIE in Sweden.

At Falun we found the average Swed-
ish inn, with a cherries dining room.
where each table was piled high with
knackbrod, enough on each table to feed
twenty soldiers The hnackbrod is a
national institution and sign surer than
any sign post or frontier stone to tell one
that he is in Sweden. IT is made Of rye
or barley aour, mixed with potatoes and
quantities of caraway seeds; Is baked in
thin sheets foot in diameter, with a
hole in the middle, and through this hole
the market women run string and carry
it around for sale. In the bread market
at Stockholm they fasten these strings of
knackbrod to their shoulder yokes In
piles that reach from the yokes nearly to
the ground. .Toan unappreciative palate
it tastes quite as much as it looks like
dog biscuit and is tougher than anything
else the human teeth struggle with. Be
sides the knackbrod, the cSwodes offer you
many varieties of sweet bread fun Of car
away seeds, and with the morning coffee
give you plates Of these fancy kick
shaws but never any plain white bread,
and the coffee at Falun was something TO
make one slliver with disgust. Cor.

Where do they (the fur seals) go tos
Certainly not northward. for it Is well
known that not q single seal IS to be
found north Of the Pribylovs. and the
floating ice of winter prevents any con-
gregation of amphibious life. There is
then tho southwark, the enormous ex-
panse of sea south OF the Aleutian chain,
5000 miles of water between Japan and
Oregon swarming with the natural food
Of the 6eal-fish. They can have no
resting place or it would be known; they
must therefore spend all their time afloat,
seeing that they sleep at sea just as COM
fortably as, or perhaps more SO than on
land. They lie on their backs, fold the
fore fiippers across the breast, turn the
hind ones up and over, so that the tips
rest on their necks and chins, thus ex-
posing only the nose and the heels of the
hind hippers above water, nothing else
being seen. Here is no poetical fancy,
but a prosaic fact, rocked in the cradle
of the deep"
One cannot but think Of the enormous
quantity of fish they must get through.
The common seal, such as we see in our
aquaria, has evidently most voracious
appetite, and never seems to be able to
get as much as he can doswith. Con-
slider, then, the weight that must be con-
sumed in the year by the fur seal, several
times its size, roaming about under thor
oughly natural conditions in its natural
element. instead of being cooped up with
in the four walls Of tank.
AS matter of fact, the hosts of fur
seal produce a notable scarcity of fish
around the Pribylors. 1t is perfectly
hopeless to throw line over the gunwale
of boat. You must go out at least
seven or eight miles, and then you can
get nothing but very large halibut. Prac-
tically the sea for 100 miles around is
cleared Of fish. 1t is computed that
forty pounds per day is rather starva-
ton allowance for an adult male, twelve
pounds to female, and not much, if
any, less for the fast growing pups.
Allow an average Of ten pounds per in
dividual per day, and calculate what
4,000,0 900 or 100000 would consume
every day-only 1000, 600 tons or so
Why, all the fishing Of the world is but
a drop in the bucket compared with this.
We must remember, too, that the seal is
only one of the many creatures which
prey ON fish. can well believe what is
asserted by many well informed people,
that the supply of sea fish is inexhausti-
bic by any means known to man.-All
the Year Round.

Clsnuting Cities.

Philadetphia's new Mayor has been Ia
Office but little moro than week, and
he went in without any experience in pub
lie affairs; but he Is being heard from.
Every criminal in town knows there Is 3
new Mayor on deck. Gamblers Of all
varieties and grades, keepcra Of tho low
dives where men and women resort to
carous, away tho nighs-they hayo al
heard Of the change, and ieltit.
The Mayor has declared his determine.
ton to cleanse the city, and II he keeps
up his present gait he will accomplish that
end. The new charter gives to the. Mayo,
OF Philadelphia the power to do what
Mayor Filter has undertaken, The police
are under his control, and II any man o!
them, from tho head down, fails to 10 HE
duty there is summary way to get rid Of
him. The Mayor has become the reel
head OF the city government with grea.
responsibilities and equal powers.
Wheeling 10 in rs great need Of cleans.
ing as Philadelphia or any Of the CREST
citiea. There are establishments here
that are n Disgrace to decent community,
Gambling bells run openly, and neither
city nor county authorities do any sub
etsntial thing to stop it. Tho Chief Of
Police makes his spasmodio raids, but by
the tine tho Grand Jury comes along the
Prosecuting Attorney has forgotten all
about the "pulls" OF tue police.
The Mayor Of Wheeling hss little real
power. Tho beat he can do is to try tc
get the Chief OF Police to do his duty, and
otherwise throw the weight Of his il.
tluenco on the right side. Wheeling
needs new charter and q new set Of
ohicesD 10 enforce it. Then wo may see
the cleansing process bsgrn in earnest
and brought to succeesfu! end.
